A goalless first half gave little away, with Everton organised and Chelsea probing without reward. The breakthrough after the interval changed the shape of the contest entirely.
Once the opener arrived, the second followed, and Chelsea closed out the game with a control that the scoreline fairly reflects — Everton limited to few genuine openings on the day.
For Everton, the defeat continues a frustrating run in front of goal; for Chelsea, it is an efficient away performance and three more points in the top-four conversation.
